About this person
Working with a diverse range of materials - including traditional canvas, stained glass, found objects, fabric, musical scores, and architectural surfaces - Cain expands the language of abstraction beyond the canvas. Her work blends painterly rigor with an intuitive embrace of play, color, and non-traditional media. Based in Los Angeles, she has exhibited extensively across the U.S. and abroad, with major solo presentations at the National Gallery of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Tang Teaching Museum, and Crystal Bridges' satellite space The Momentary. In 2019, she completed a 150-foot permanent stained-glass installation at San Francisco International Airport.
